SerifCaps etc. works with the traditional \sc, don’t know about \smallcaps.

Are you sure your fonts are found?

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=EBGaramond


If your regular OpenType font contains smallcaps, try:

\definefontfeature[mysmallcaps][default][
   smcp=yes, % smallcaps
   script=latn,
]

\starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name]
...
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps][EBGaramond-Regular][features=mysmallcaps]
...
